Consider the following statements regarding Sirkeer Malkoha, recently seen in the news:
It is a type of cuckoo bird endemic to the Western Ghats of India.
It is classified as ‘Least Concern‘ under the IUCN Red List.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: b
Explanation:
The rare Sirkeer Malkoha (Taccocua leschenaultii), a bird species typically found in Uttarakhand’s plains, has been recently recorded for the first time in the Uttarkashi district.
About Sirkeer Malkoha:
The sirkeer malkoha, or sirkeer cuckoo, is a special type of cuckoo bird.
Scientific Name: Taccocua leschenaultii
Unlike some cuckoos, it does not lay its eggs in other birds’ nests.
Distribution: This species is widespread across the sub-Himalayan Indian subcontinent, extending into Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and, more patchily, into Pakistan and Rajasthan.
Habitat: It is typically found in scrub and thin forest habitats, often favoring hilly terrain but generally residing below an altitude of about 1500 meters above sea level.
Features:
It is about 42–44 centimetres long.
It is notable for its long tail and the rich olive-brown plumage adorning its upper side.
The underparts are typically a lighter shade, sometimes with a yellowish tinge.
It has a unique curved red beak with a yellow tip.
Its legs are grey.
These birds are very quiet, and male and female sirkeer malkohas look exactly alike.
These birds have special feet called zygodactyle feet. This means two toes point forward and two point backward. This helps them grip branches and move on the ground.
They eat small lizards, insects, and sometimes berries and seeds.

Consider the following statements regarding Nimesulide, recently seen in the news:
It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
The use of nimesulide is completely banned in India.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: a
Explanation:
The government recently prohibited the manufacturing, sale and distribution of all oral formulations containing Nimesulide above 100 mg with immediate effect.
About Nimesulide:
● First introduced in Italy in 1985, it is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for its pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and fever-reducing effects.
● It is commonly used to manage acute pain, musculoskeletal disorders, dental pain, and symptoms associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis and dysmenorrhea.
Nimesulide works by inhibiting the action of cyclooxygenase (COX), an enzyme responsible for the production of prostaglandins-chemicalsthat cause pain, inflammation, and fever.
By blocking this enzyme, Nimesulide reduces the levels of prostaglandins, thus providing relief from pain and inflammation.
By targeting the underlying inflammatory process rather than just masking the pain, Nimesulide helps relieve swelling, improves mobility and function in affected areas, and enhances overall comfort and quality of life.
Side Effects:
Long-term usage may harm the liver or result in significant side effects, including gastrointestinal bleeding or renal issues.
Apart from this, other side effects like sour stomach, dizziness, skin infection, diarrhoea, and increased liver enzymes might be observed in individuals.
Regulation:
From its early years, nimesulide attracted safety concerns and was never approved for use in countries including the United States, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan.
In 2008, the International Society of Drug Bulletins, a WHO-supported network, called for a global ban on nimesulide.
India banned the use of nimesulide in children below 12 years of age in 2011 but continued to allow its use in older patients. However, concerns have persisted.

With reference to Bomb Cyclones, consider the following statements:
They are large tropical storms resulting from explosive cyclogenesis.
There must be a 50-millibar surface pressure drop within 24 hours at 60° latitude for storms to qualify as bomb cyclones.
They typically form in winter when cold and warm air masses collide.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: b
Explanation:
A powerful “bomb cyclone” barreled across the northern United States recently, triggering severe winter weather in the Midwest and the East Coast.
About Bomb Cyclone:
It is a large midlatitude storm resulting from explosive cyclogenesis (or, informally, bombogenesis), a type of accelerated extratropical cyclone development in which surface pressure falls substantially over a 24-hour
In structure, a bomb cyclone is indistinguishable from any other intense midlatitude storm.
The center of the storm is a low-pressure cell (or cyclone) that draws winds near the surface inward.
However, a bomb cyclone is set apart by its rapid rate of intensification. The intensification required to classify as “bombogenesis” varies by latitude.
For example, at 60 degrees latitude, the requirement is 24 millibars in 24 hours.
Around 40 degrees latitude, a storm only has to intensify by 17.8 millibars in 24 hours.
Bomb cyclones are often associated with atmospheric rivers and typically form in winter when cold and warm air masses collide.
The four most active regions where extra-tropical explosive cyclogenesis occurs in the world are
the Northwest Pacific,
the North Atlantic,
the Southwest Pacific, and
the South Atlantic
The precipitation associated with a bomb cyclone is intense, ranging from heavy downpours to strong thunderstorms to blizzards and heavy snowfalls, along with strong winds.

Consider the following statements regarding Stingless Bees:
These are pollinators which use their mandibles to bite their attackers.
These species are only found in the Amazon forest region.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: a
Explanation:
Amazonian stingless bees have become the first insect in the world to be granted legal rights, after two municipalities — Satipo and Nauta — in Peru passed an ordinance earlier this month.
Stingless Bees are a class of bees which either do not have stingers or have stingers that cannot cause much pain.
Common genera of stingless bees: Austroplebeia, Melipona, and Tetragonula
Defence Mechanism: They do possess stingers, but they are too small to be useful in defense. Instead of stinging, stingless bees use their mandibles to bite their attackers.
Stingless bees are among the planet’s oldest pollinators, with a remarkable concentration of species in the Amazon rainforest.
Distribution: They are found in tropical regions across the world, and about half of the 500 known species live in the Amazon.
Africa, Australia, Southeast Asia, and parts of the Americas are the main areas where the stingless bee is found.
In India, these bees are reported primarily from the northeastern, eastern, and southern Indian States.
Benefits: Stingless bees can be used for pollination without fear of being stung. They are known for their popular medicinal honey and pollination potential.
Threats: Deforestation has reduced nesting sites, while pesticide use, climate change and competition from invasive honeybees have further weakened populations.

It predicts the potential drugs unbind from their protein targets without the artificial distortions commonly used in standard methods.
It mimics natural selection on a microscopic scale instead of forcing the molecule to move.
Features of PathGennie:
It captures rare molecular events without artificial acceleration.
It generates multiple competitive unbinding pathways.
It estimates residence time of drug molecules.
It eliminates bias introduced by external force-based simulations
Potential Applications:
It addresses problems such as chemical reactions, catalytic processes, phase transitions, or self-assembly phenomena.
It is also compatible with modern machine-learning techniques which ensures integrated into diverse simulation pipelines.
